Deckhead:
Got Game?

Body:
Saturday night was my first real exposure to the young college basketball season as I tuned into an epic early season matchup between then No. 1 Florida and then No. 12 Kansas. With the game very much in contention as the second half wound down, a familiar voice continued to resonate from the announcer’s table until my father finally yelled “Shut up! Shut up!” in the direction of the television and we watched the last five minutes of regulation and the entire overtime (Kansas eventually won) with the sound off.

ESPN personality Dick Vitale likes to use the term “diaper dandies” to refer to quality freshmen. The women’s hockey team (1-10-1, 1-7-0 ECACHL) is full of such players, with eight freshmen this season. Even though the team’s season is less than half over, many of these new players have already made key contributions to the Red. With only four seniors on the team, the freshman class looks to be an important component in the team’s future plans.
